Abstract Introduction Forest restoration can be achieved by promoting natural regeneration or planting tree seedlings, but the relative benefits of these widely used approaches are questioned. Soil communities may influence restoration outcomes but are usually ignored by monitoring schemes.

Abstract Introduction Agricultural activities are a major driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation in subtropical streams, often altering macroinvertebrate community structure and associated ecosystem functions. Although restoration strategies increasingly target these impacts, the relative importance of riparian shading and in‐stream ...

Restoration increasingly operates in rapidly transforming landscapes shaped by human‐driven global change, where historical reference states no longer represent achievable or even desirable targets. Yet, ecological restoration and conservation management still rely on composition‐based definitions of ecosystem integrity that assume stable reference ...

Can surface treatments and climate matching enhance restoration success in the Sonoran Desert?
Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant communities in arid ecosystems through seeding is a critical yet often unsuccessful strategy due to severe environmental stressors, including degraded soils, low and variable rainfall, and seed predation. Objectives To improve restoration outcomes, we examined the influence of seed mix types and soil surface

ABSTRACT Microplastics have been identified in hundreds of species, with evidence of trophic transfer via contaminated prey. Sarasota Bay common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) serve as sentinels of coastal pollution, including plastics and chemical plasticizers. Previous research confirmed microplastic ingestion in these dolphins (100.0%, n =
